The Retirement

People say

I don't look retired

The face is glowing

Nothing has changed

Looking fresh and fine.

The day similar to the last one

Started with a walk

Brushed, saved and bathed

Adjusted tie over the suit

Left for the office in the car.

Day ended with a meeting

All with good words 

As in the climax of a story.

With flower and gift

Left for my return journey.

Today I visited the office      

Welcomed by the sentry.

The staff stand up and tell

"Not a wrinkle on your face

Looking fresh and fine

Happy retirement on time."

I am as before

Date got changed

The waiting is over.

Crossed the time zone

It's time to walk all alone

To rediscover me once again.
